Shikibu no Mukashi (150g)

Shikibu no Mukashi is a superb choice for those seeking an exceptionally flavorful and uniquely refined usucha.

• Flavor Profile: A rich, full-bodied matcha with an intensely creamy sweetness and mild notes of toasted seeds.
• Aftertaste: A lingering umami depth that enhances the overall experience.
• Texture & Balance: Rather than emphasizing bold, distinct flavors, this matcha deepens and refines delicate, soft nuances, creating a harmonious and luxurious taste.
• Versatility: Due to its high quality, it can also be prepared as koicha (thick tea) for a more concentrated experience.

HOW TO PREPARE

As Usucha (Thin Tea)

1. Add 2g (0.4 US tsp, 1 teaspoon, or 2 chashaku scoops) of matcha powder to a tea bowl.
2. Pour 70 ml (2.4 fl oz) of 80°C (176°F) water over the matcha powder.
3. Whisk with a chasen (bamboo whisk) until a smooth, foamy consistency is achieved.

TIPS FOR THE BEST MATCHA EXPERIENCE

✔ Preheat the tea bowl with hot water, then dry it before use to enhance the aroma and flavor. (Optional)
✔ Sift the matcha powder before preparation to prevent clumping. (Strongly recommended)
✔ Drink immediately after preparation, as matcha becomes increasingly bitter as it cools. (Recommended)
✔ Use within one month of opening to enjoy peak freshness. (Strongly recommended)
